I think that what chip is trying to say is that the 2bar of pressure that is seen does not represent the efficiency of flow at all, and that if the engine is flowed nicely, the volumetric efficiency will improve for a given level of boost, which will therefore lead to improved peak performance (providing the turbo is in fact capable of both allowing the flow and providing the power!)

Is this correct?

Lol, yes thats pretty much it.

The engines does NOT consume 2 bar of boost, EVER, thats the whole point, the 2 bar of pressure in the manifold represents the air that could NOT be consumed, and has no direct relationship at all to a measurement of how much was consumed.

At least this thread is managing to help you grasp the basics if only because Phil gets it SO badly wrong that it makes it easy to see why he is wrong, even to a relative lay-person
